The release date is February ninth. THREE DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY. -is so excited-

Anyway... yeah. I've been SORELY disappointed by games this year *coughOtherMcough*, so hopefully Portal 2 will be good. I can't see how it'll be bad- Wheatley's still British, GLaDOS' voice is... ... it fits a certain trope to say the least, Chell is still here, no Companion Cube, no cake (both confirmed by Word of God- they're sick of those jokes and aren't aiming to re-tread old ground I'm a small minority, but that minority includes the writers), the potential for more Coulton songs, a full second story that is co-op with ROBOTS, the Enrichment Center being overgrown (I have a thing for very clinical/sterile settings, as well as rundown and overgrown ones. This isn't getting chocolate in peanut butter, this is Branston Pickle on No More Heroes), the potential for more personality cores, more Rat Man writings, new ways to kick physics in the quad, and have I mentioned it being a FULL LENGTH game? As in, ten hours is guessing on the low end? TEN. HOURS. OF PORTAL GOODNESS. TWENTY IF YOU ADD IN CO-OP, YES THIS WILL BE WORTH THE $50 IT'LL COST (pre-orders actually have it at like... $45.00, and 'custom robots').

Oh. I forgot the music. VALVE, YOU HAD BETTER PUT OUT A CD WITH THE MUSIC, AND YOU HAD DAMN WELL BETTER INCLUDE A FULL VERSION OF THE ABSOLUTELY EPIC TRAILER MUSIC. The only way this could be better is if it had and was on FIRE! (Why yes, I am a ZP fan).

(If you can't tell by now, I'm just a little excited for this game, and have done... a little looking into it. *As in, I got a mod position in a Valve group on dA for being so on top of things... ... what? WHAT?*)
